ECO KIT SUMMARY:

An ECO kit exists for LOGIN on OpenVMS VAX V7.2. This kit addresses the
following problems:

PROBLEMS ADDRESSED IN VAXLOGI01_072 KIT:

  o  The original code first maximized the quota values taken  from
     the  UAF and PQL_MENQLM.  When PQL_MENQLM was set above 32767,
     this  prevented  the  UAF  value  of  32767  from  scaling  to
     "infinity"  when  it  should have.  The new code tests for the
     UAF number before maximizing the UAF and PQL values.

          Images Affected:  [SYSEXE]LOGINOUT.EXE


  o  Users who login through the DECwindows login interface and who
     use  external authentication may see unexpected login failures
     when their mapped username is different than the username they
     entered.

          Images Affected:  [SYSEXE]LOGINOUT.EXE


  o  A process  loops  indefinitely  in  the  COM  state  with  the
     LOGINOUT.EXE  image  open,  which  wastes  valuable resources.
     This can occur if the following conditions occur:

       1.  An account has an expired password

       2.  Multiple (3) DECwindows terminal sessions are in use

       3.  An attempt to log into that  account  remotely,  from  all
           sessions, is aborted on one session.

       For example:

       1.  Use the SET HOST command from multiple DECwindow  terminal
           sessions

       2.  Enter the username and password on two sessions

       3.  Enter only the username on the third session

       4.  Abort the second session by closing that  window  ,  while
           the  remaining  two  sessions  (first and third) are being
           prompted for user input

            -  Session one is being prompted for a new password.

            -  Session  three  has  not  returned  the  prompt   from
               entering the username.

          Images Affected:  [SYSEXE]LOGINOUT.EXE

ECO KIT ORDERING INSTRUCTIONS:

If after an evaluation you wish to obtain this kit, request it
electronically using the appropriate Advanced Electronic Services
(AES) Service Tool.  If you are not familiar with how to request
kits electronically, open the DIA, WIS or DSNLINK database and
review the article entitled:

INSTALLATION NOTES:

This kit requires a system reboot.  Compaq strongly recommends that
a  reboot  is performed immediately after kit installation to avoid
system instability

If you have other nodes in your OpenVMS cluster, they must also  be
rebooted  in  order  to make use of the new image(s).  If it is not
possible or convenient to reboot the entire cluster at this time, a
rolling re-boot may be performed.

Install this kit with the VMSINSTAL utility  by  logging  into  the
SYSTEM account, and typing the following at the DCL prompt:

@SYS$UPDATE:VMSINSTAL VAXLOGI01_072 [location of the saveset]

The saveset location may be a tape drive, CD, or a  disk  directory
that contains the kit saveset.
